What I've learned about Blogging...

Wow...I've learned a lot over the last few weeks. In addition to learning how to create and post in a blog, I also learned to add pictures, videos and etc. I'm not sure how to best use it in my classroom...I am open to ideas. Maybe a book club????

Classroom Expectations

Many times I teach in the K-6 classrooms, so  the kids follow their normal classroom rules and expectations.

However, my expectations are:
1. Follow directions 1st time given.
2. Treat others with respect and kindness.

I also use the Daily 5 in my classroom (Read to Self, Read to Someone, Work on Writing, Listen to Reading, Word Work). I have I charts (Independence charts) that I use with students to show what is expected of them as they work on these 5 tasks. For example:

Read to Self
- get started right away
- stay in 1 spot
- read the whole time
- read quietly
- work on stamina
